in one word....
MEK

Methyl Ether Ketone I guess that's 3 words!

Available in diluted form at paint supply places (LOWE's).

When used in confined areas it rivals BC gold.

Use plastic gloves..latex will melt in your hands.

I still have a 55 gal drum in my barn...PARTEEEE.

I dont know if this is the same stuff as MEK but ppg makes some good wax and grease remover that works awesome for getting decals and sticky stuff off anything. I used it to get some of those relentless state/emission decals off the inside of the g/f's windshield.

maybe i am wrong, but i dont think goo gone gets rid of the stickers... just the stickiness once you get them off......

they have sticker remover at auto parts stores usually with all the cleaning products.... try kragan, autozone.

I could never get Goo gone to work for me with anything. I removed the vehicle decals on my old 85 yota with a hair dryer and a plastic putty knife. Took about an hour and looked great.
